Thanks for voting in the New Librarian Pinterest contest! Brooklyn Biblio took top honors! If you didn’t get a chance last week, check out the Elite 8. I’m so proud to be in the new generation of librarians with a vision for what librarians can and should be.

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the Women’s History crowdsourcing project! I’ve been a busy little bee applying to jobs because holy wow, I’m finishing my MLS in a month! Stay tuned…

Brooklyn Biblio is a finalist in Syracuse University iSchool’s Future of Librarianship Pinterest Contest. Voting is open until this Friday, March 30th, so please visit this page, pass it on, and vote for me (Brooklyn Biblio!). If I know you from SU, Friends of the Greenpoint Library, ULU or the NYPL First 500, you may see a special cameo on my board. While you’re there, check out all the boards and be surprised by what my iSchool colleagues envision for Libraries. (You don’t even need a Pinterest account to vote!)

I have taken a winding path through my early career years so far. I was determined to work in Advertising in New York City when I graduated college, and that’s exactly what I did. A few left turns later, and I found myself going to grad school to become a librarian.

I am currently enjoying a life of leisure between completing my MLS at Syracuse University and beginning my career as a school media specialist in a fabulous public elementary school in September 2012. In between adoring my small dog, loitering in cafes, attending weddings and looking at photos of acquaintances’ babies on Facebook, I also serve as co-president of the Greenpoint Public Library Friends group, which raises money and awareness for our neighborhood public library branch. My previous experience includes media planning, event planning, and website content management.
